Sundays have always been a day of praise from Tiger Woods fans. And yesterday, March 21, it was Tiger Woods’ turn to seek redemption.

Both ESPN and the Golf Channel were granted five-minute interviews on Tiger Woods’ Isleworth home early Sunday, but were asked by Tiger Woods’ camp to hold the interviews until later that evening (for reasons that are unclear).

The only problem Tom Rinaldi and Kelly Tilghman had was that they were interviewing Tiger “I hit a couple of things” Woods. He, as expected, avoided any thorough answers that provided any insight beyond the obvious.

And this is one time I’m actually going to agree with the side of evasiveness.

I’ve been consistent in my view that Tiger Woods didn’t owe the public an apology or an explanation for inappropriate behavior towards his wife. Is it really ground-breaking news that a high-profile married athlete with access to any woman they want when they want would cheat? Can I get a Chris Berman c’mon man?

I’ve heard the argument that Tiger Woods broke the public’s trust and therefore owes the people a certain amount of transparency. Whack.

What is he? The President of the United States?

If Tiger Woods broke your trust, then I say find a healthier relationship. Preferably one with a real person that you actually know because no person, rich or poor, is perfect. The few differences between Tiger Woods and a lot of other cheaters is that he had full access to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted and he got caught.

As a society, we’ve got to be more careful about who we idolize. Even better, let’s not idolize anyone since no human being is without flaws.

It’s OK to appreciate someone’s talent or gift, but we’ve got to keep in perspective that talents don’t always equate to character.

Tiger Woods has done a lot of good in his life. But he hasn’t always been the image of perfection — even before Nov. 27, 2009.

As it relates to the suspicious car accident that left him dazed and shoeless last November, Tiger Woods certainly deserved a level of scrutiny about that. Insert any other athlete in his shoes (Alex Rodriguez, Kobe Bryant or Peyton Manning) and we probably would have had answers about that before now.

When Rinaldi and Tilghman asked about what happened that infamous night, Tiger Woods gave the tried and trusted “it’s on the police report” defense. But the public really wants to know, are you abusing prescription pain killers?

Considering the fact that a 50-something year old baseball manager has admitted to snorting cocaine (one time), I’d say it’s a fair question. And one that should have been asked Sunday.
